Climate Change Ramblings

Because this winter has been especially harsh here in North America, I decided to do a little investigating on if the record cold temperatures and record snowfalls could be related to changes in the global climate.  Since all scientists are scheming to squeeze grant money from taxpayers and the Jew-run liberal media is using the climate as a conspiracy to spread socialism, I decided to interview unbiased experts in climatology.  I returned to Goose Rock, Kentucky and met with Bubba Blacklung, graduate of Oral Roberts University and meteorologist for the Goose Creek Missionary Baptist Church Newsletter.

“It’s purty clear that global warming’s just a hoax,” Blacklung said, lighting a cigarette.  “I mean, I’ve left my car running for two months straight, trying to warm things up a bit, but instead it just keeps gettin colder.  I knew all along it weren’t true cause I got an electronic mail from the World Wide Internet explaining how all science is just a tool of the Devil to turn our younguns into queers.  What could be more credible than an electronic mail?”

Now suspicious of the conspiracy, I rushed to South Carolina to speak with Joseph Cartwright III, conservative blogger and talk radio host for WHTE-All White, All the Time.

“Mr. Blacklung is right.  We on the frontline of this war between whi..er..I mean Christian values and the Devil worshiping scientists have been saying for years that this is just a conspiracy cooked up by Al Gore to control energy markets.  This cold weather is proof that Obama wasn’t born in this country.  I’ve gotten thousands of emails telling me that fact.  Thousands of forwarded emails from undisclosed origins can’t be wrong!”

Now convinced, I headed straight to Washington to share my findings with Billy Joe Oilmoney, Tea Party Senator from Texas and champion of all things American.

“This conspiracy is bigger than you think.  They want to bring down oil companies to destroy the American way of life.  Who ever heard of America innovating industries and leading the world in the advancement of technology?  That’s just dirty Commie talk.  America’s always run on oil and always will.”

Concerned for the American way of life, I pressed Senator Oilmoney on how long the world’s supply of oil would last at our present rate of consumption.

“That’s another lie spread by the Commies.  We got plenty of oil, enough to last years and years.  There’s no need to worry about our oil supply.  I mean, most of it comes from the Middle East, and what could be more stable than that region?  There’s no reason to believe that the flow of oil will ever be disrupted there.  Besides, Armageddon is on its way, and those of us who aren’t Devil-worshiping Commies won’t have to worry about this earth anymore.  I’ve got proof that the end is near.  Let me show you this email.”

Wednesday Morning Ramblings

My beautiful niece, Brianna.

Eleven years before I got to become “Daddy,” I became an uncle.  Today, my oldest niece turns 18, and while the protective side of me is not happy about it, I remember how special and difficult of a time it is.  So today’s blog is for you, Brianna, and the following are things I want you to remember as you go through life:

You are a beautiful person, inside and out.  You have a good heart and a sweet nature, and one day, hopefully many years from now, you are going to be an excellent mother.

You are intelligent and capable, and you can accomplish anything you strive for as long as you are willing to work hard for it.  Never underestimate the power of your own will and the importance of hard work.

Your love is a precious gift.  Never let anyone take it for granted, mistreat it, or abuse it.  If your heart tells you that you aren’t getting what you want from someone, listen to it.  Your heart is a good compass to follow, and if you quieten your brain long enough to hear it, your heart will rarely lead you astray.

I will always have your back.  When life knocks you down and the days seem their darkest, remember that and take comfort in it.  No matter where you are or what has happened, you can come to me for shelter and safety, so don’t be afraid to take a few chances and reach for your dreams.

The only failures in life are not trying and quitting on your goals.  If you come up short or fall on your face, you can learn from that and grow stronger as long as you pick yourself up and keep pressing forward.  Nothing worth anything comes easy, and real successes usually come after many failures.

Life can sometimes seem pointless and difficult and overwhelming, and there will be days when you want to give up.  Those are the moments when you need to reach deep down inside of yourself, get a firm grasp on your spine, clench your teeth, and get through the dark days.  The sunshine will come back eventually.

I love you, my beautiful girl.  You have always been more like a daughter than a niece, and I’m very proud of you.  Happy birthday with many, many more to come.
